    Stray dogs sometimes get to sleep in front of the fireplace. Stray dogs sometimes get a plate of food and the promise of safety for a night or two, if there’s a use for them.

    He can say, “yes, sir,” and “no, sir,” and try to never to ask too many questions, try never to make too much of a problem of himself.

    Summary

    After a little while, Jayce finally peeks out from his hands.

    “… Are you sure you don’t want the bed to yourself?”

    This time Viktor openly rolls his eyes.

    “I have a limp, Jayce. Not leprosy. Honestly.”

    Summary

    “They’re making out in the lab.”

    “Yeah, they do that a lot.”

    “But they’re not boyfriends?”

    “We don’t talk about it.”

    The first time Viktor kissed Jayce, it was a quick peck on the cheek, followed by a casual conversation. The next time it's on the lips, but then it's back to talk about formulas. Jayce concludes it must be a cultural thing, and also starts to kiss Viktor back. Everybody else is confused.

    A story of two friends kissing each other, who are definitely not boyfriends.

    Summary

    “If this Hextech thing doesn't work out,” Jayce drawls, slow and sweet, head still dangling awkwardly from his neck, except now he's facing Viktor. “You know what we should do?”

    This is a joke Viktor isn't in on. But now he's intrigued, so he draws up his good leg and rests his elbow on it, letting the quiet hum of music wash over him.

    “What,” he asks, “Should we do, Jayce?”

    Jayce is holding in a laugh. “Suicide pact.”

    (Public appearances are boring. Viktor steals Jayce away, and they reflect.)
